Nighthawk AXE7300 Tri-Band WiFi 6E Router Model RAXE290 To change the SSID, enter a 32-character (maximum), case-sensitive name in this field. 6. Select a WiFi security option for the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz guest WiFi network: • None. An open WiFi network that does not provide any security. Any WiFi device can join the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, or 6 GHz guest WiFi network. This is the default setting for the guest WiFi network. • WPA2-PSK [AES]. WPA2 provides a secure and fast connection but some older WiFi devices do not detect WPA2 and support only WPA. Select WPA2-PSK [AES] security to allow 802.11n devices to connect to the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, or 6 GHz guest WiFi network at the fastest speed. If your guest WiFi network includes older devices that do not support WPA2, select WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES] security. To use WPA2 security, in the Password (Network Key) field, enter a phrase of 8 to 63 characters. To join the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz guest WiFi network, a user must enter this password. • WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES]. This type of security enables WiFi devices that support either WPA or WPA2 to join the 2.4 GHz band of the guest WiFi network. However, WPA-PSK [TKIP] is less secure than WPA2-PSK [AES] and limits the speed of WiFi devices to 54 Mbps. To use WPA + WPA2 security, in the Password (Network Key) field, enter a phrase of 8 to 63 characters. To join the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz guest WiFi network, a user must enter this password. • WPA3-PSK. This type of security enables WiFi devices that support WPA3 to join the guest WiFi network. WPA3 is the latest security standard, uses SAE encryption, and is more secure than WPA2. If all devices on your guest WiFi network support WPA3, we recommend that you use this type of security. To use WPA3 security, in the Password (Network Key) field, enter a phrase of 8 to 127 characters. To join the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz guest WiFi network, a user must enter this password. • WPA2 + WPA3. This type of security, which is the same as WPA3/WPA2-PSK, enables WiFi devices that support either WPA3 or WPA2 to join the guest WiFi network. This type of security uses SAE and AES encryption. WPA2-PSK (which uses AES) is less secure than WPA3 (which uses SAE). In the Passphrase field, enter a phrase of 8 to 63 characters. To join the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz guest WiFi network, a user must enter this passphrase. To use WPA2 + WPA3 security, in the Password (Network Key) field, enter a phrase of 8 to 127 characters. To join the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz guest WiFi network, a user must enter this password. 7. Select a WiFi security option for the 6 GHz guest WiFi network: • Enhanced Open. • WPA3-Personal. This type of security enables WiFi devices that support WPA3 to join the guest WiFi network. WPA3 is the latest security standard, uses SAE encryption, and is more secure than WPA2.
